Takeru sat up straight in the chair. All of the townsfolk were staring at him intently, ready to listen to his story. The man who found him in the forest, Felix his name was, had took him straight to Isaac who had insisted that he refresh himself before anything else. He could hardly believe his luck that he had found the hero that his mother had told him about. So he had accepted. After that he had been taken to a house where the whole town was waiting to hear what he had to say! Takeru took a deep breath. Felix had listened to his story and seemed to believe him so he hoped that this Isaac would too.
"I was sent to this town to inform Mister Isaac and friends that they were to go to the town of Congito to meet up with an old friend."
He took a deep breath and waited. The villagers were looking at him funny. Finally Isaac spoke.
"Who told you to do this?" He asked.
Takeru was nervous. Judging from Felix's initial reaction to his saying about an angel, the villagers were going to laugh at him.
"An angel."
He knew he was right. All the people were silent at first, stunned, and then they started to roar with laughter.
"Nice joke laddie!" One yelled.
"Go back to where you came from!" Yelled a second.
Takeru saw one blue haired woman place a hand over her red headed husband to stop his laughing. Finally Felix stood beside Takeru's chair.
"SHUT UP!" He yelled at the laughing crowd.
There was instant silence. Takeru had seen his mother have the same effect on a crowd of people. Because she was usually quiet people didn't expect her to yell. But when she did, every one went quiet. He supposed it was the same with Felix. Felix swept his eyes across the crowd, looking at them disgracefully. Everyone in the crowd looked as though they wanted to crawl under a rock and die. Felix leant in and dropped the blue stone he had been holding in his hand since Takeru showed him, into his hand.
"Show Isaac." He said softly and left the building.
Takeru closed his hand around the stone. He stood from his seat and walked over to Isaac. Isaac and his wife, still stunned from Felix's roar, didn't notice him at first.
"Mister Isaac?"
Isaac finally looked down and saw him. He opened up his palm and offered him the gem. It was Jenna, however, that reached down and plucked the stone from his hand. She looked it over carefully and tears formed in her eyes.
"Sheba's Teleport Lapis," She murmured and her eyes widened, "Felix"!
She dumped the stone into her husband's hand and raced off to find her sibling.
"Isaac?" Garet had come over accompanied by Mia, his wife, and their four children. Wordlessly he handed over the Lapis. He turned to Takeru.
"Thank you Takeru," He said, "We leave immediately."
"Felix?" Jenna approached her older brother slowly. He turned to her.
"Jenna," He whispered, "I think she's still alive… She has to be…"
Jenna hugged her older brother and the tears she had been holding back flowed freely.
"We will go to Congito," She said fiercely, when she wiped her eyes, "We will find her Felix, I promise."
He nodded, unable to speak for fear of crying as his sister had done.
"We will arrange our trip immediately," she said.
Again he nodded. Jenna turned around.
"I'm gonna talk to Isaac." She left.
Felix stayed there for a minute or two staring at the sky.
"Sheba…" He whispered to the sky, "We're coming... I'll see you again…"
Somewhere above, a dark haired woman heard this. She sighed.
"It may be too late…"
She blew on the pool in front of her. The image now showed a silver haired man talking to a young blond woman. Well… more accurately, he was talking at her as she scribbled on a piece of parchment. A bouquet of roses on the desk beside her showed the reason for the visit. She blew on the pool again to show the young brown haired man looking mournfully off into the distance.
"I only hope you come quickly…"
Shimmy: Well that's it. For that chapter!
Sheba: Please review!
